Differential Equation for a Horizontal Spring with Friction
Since there is friction in the system, I would expect the spring to come to a halt after a certain time. However, the solution to this differential equation is. x(t) = (A − umg k)cos k m−−−√ t + umg k x ( t) = ( A − u m g k) c o s k m t + u m g k. The graph of this function, however, is purely sinusoidal and it does not tend to 0 as ...
